Damien at 50 months: http://olyafinnegan.com/thumbnails.php?album=59

It is getting harder and harder to get a good photo of Damien - he sees the camera and starts acting like a goofball. A goofball who does NOT look good in pictures. *sigh* We shall see what April brings.

I finally got off my butt and updated Baby vs Baby (and added another “vs baby” to it, as long as I was at it - that should tell you how neglected my poor photo album is)…

Which is more than I can say about the photo gallery… It started throwing wonky SQL errors, and had to be put down for its own good. I haven’t had the time yet to customize the new install, or re-add the old pictures, but after three people separately asked me today what happened to the photos, I did get off my butt and uploaded 15 pics from our time in Russia so far. Enjoy!

(my apologies if you tried to follow the email link and got an error page - I unwisely decided to update WordPress RIGHT AFTER I made the new post.)

Added month 13 and month 14 comparisons. Well, in Damien’s case, month 13 is more like “almost month 14″ because I did not take any photos from the end of January until mid-March 2006. And in Sergey’s case, I discovered that I haven’t taken a single decent-looking photo of him during the time-frame in question. Argh. I think I messed up some camera settings, because the photos are looking worse and worse as the months go by.

16 new photos, most of them taken by Bill, in the “Damien & Sergey: September 2007″ album. This brings the album total to 138. Aren’t you glad the month is over now? *grins*

This afternoon, it hailed. When I got home after picking the kids up at daycare, there was still hail on the ground. 4 photos in the “Miscellanea: 2007″ album .

Later Erin and Nate came over to with Sergey a happy birthday. Hilarity ensued. 13 photos in the “Damien & Sergey: September 2007″ album.

Good thing there are only a few days left in September, because this album is getting large!

September breaks a hundred

40 new photos added to September 2007 album, bringing the total for the month so far to 109, and proving once and for all that “ability to limit the number of photographs to something reasonable” is not, indeed, my middle name. “She who cannot decide on the best photos and therefore uploads them all,” on the other hand, apparently is.

P.S. If you get an error along the lines of “too many connections,” please try again in a few seconds. I have contacted my web host about the problem, and hope it will be resolved quickly. Please leave me a comment if you encounter any problems viewing the photos.

Over the last week, I uploaded photos to July, August, and September albums. Tonight, I finally captioned them. So, without further ado, here are the links to new stuff:

July 2007, part 2 (ended up uploading almost 140 photos for July, so split them into two albums so that people on dialup won’t hate me)

August 2007 (58 photos)

September 2007 (65 photos so far)

More September photos by the end of the weekend, assuming I get my act together. Enjoy!

A whole bunch in the July 2007 album. Took forever to upload (gotta love dialup), so I am going to bed without adding dates and titles. Sorry :-(

Btw, notice anything different about Damien?

P.S. Going to the village to visit grandparents tomorrow (Sunday), will be gone two or three days…

26 new ones in the June 2007 album.

For those of you thinking, “aren’t you supposed to be packing, Olya?” the answer is, “Yes, I am working on that.”

My excuse - I need to burn all my photos to DVDs so parental and grand-parental units can pick and chose the ones they would like to see in the digital frames we bought for them. I have the best excuses :P

Well, my Nikon needs to be shipped to the mothership, where god willing they will bring it back to life, so in the meantime I am going through my old photos and organizing them.

  • Enjoy photos of Damien from January 2005, now with titles and dates.

  • More photos in the Nature album. Beginning to realize some reorganization will eventually have to happen there.

  • Started a new album, Crafts. Otherwise known as “things I used to have time to do”

Seeing as my camera decided to partially give up the ghost, and I strongly suspect it will have to be sent to Nikon for a look-see.

3 more photos added to the January album, and 10 the February one.

January 2007 album is now up to 79 photos. I think I need to learn how to be more selective. At any rate, added 19 new pictures there. Also, two new albums debut in the Miscellanea category - Nature and People. Going for self-explanatory here *grins*
